" I have been to many udon places before, but Tensai holds a special place in my heart. Their Ebi Ten Udon was delightful. The shrimps were fresh, and the crunch of the tempura was perfect. I really appreciated the quality ingredients used in all the dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a perfect spot to chill. Only downside was that the portion felt a little small for my appetite, but I will still recommend it for the taste alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard about Tensai Udon House, and after visiting, I can see why it’s getting so much attention. The udon was authentic and the broth was packed with flavor without being overly salty. I really enjoyed the addition of the onsen egg, which made the dish even more delightful. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. Though it was a bit busy during my visit, it added to the vibrant atmosphere. I’ll certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Tensai Udon House was fantastic! The ambiance was quite lovely; it was a calm and refreshing escape from the hustle of the city. My Ebi Niku Udon was exquisite. The flavors blended perfectly. Each bowl came with a generous portion of shrimp tempura which was crispy and not overly greasy. Overall, the service was prompt and friendly. I would absolutely return to discover more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I stumbled upon Tensai while exploring midtown and decided to try it. What a wonderful surprise! The karaage was juicy and crispy, and it paired perfectly with our udon bowls. I was particularly fond of the beef in the Niku Udon; it was savory and well-seasoned. The place had a charming feel to it, and the service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)
